L’Shanah Tovah to everyone gathering tonight for Rosh Hashanah. During this time of reflection and renewal, I wish you a sweet and healthy new year.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Republicans know that if they have to face voters on their record, they’ll lose. Proud to stand with Hoosier Democrats yesterday to say politics doesn’t have to be about these absurd games. It should be about you, and about making everyday life better.

There's a word for what Trump and his allies are trying to do with this gerrymandering plan...

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Loved spending time with IBEW at the 6th District Meeting today. Amazing to see the level of employment now underway, much of it made possible by our work together to launch the infrastructure and energy investments America has long needed.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike. In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting. We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

Amid the darkness of 9/11, so many Americans demonstrated what is best about our nation. People saved lives, gave blood, helped one another, signed up to serve.

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.

Republicans deliberately delayed the most damaging effects of their so-called “big, beautiful bill” until after the midterms, hoping to avoid accountability for how they are hurting people. But much of the damage is already happening.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr. But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

The Trump administration is canceling the DOT’s rule to get passengers compensation for extreme airline delays - just the latest example of them siding with corporations and against customers.

Over and over, the Trump-Vance administration is tearing down rules that protect ordinary people from mistreatment by corporations. Now it's happening in the airline sector.

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

Our billionaire President put an airline lobbyist in charge of the Department of Transportation. So no, this is not a surprise.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.

When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.

Praying for of all those affected by today’s horrific shooting in Minnesota, injuring and killing innocent young people who were simply starting their school year. We are all too accustomed to awful news like this, but must never accept such suffering and loss as normal.

I talked with a doctor in rural Wisconsin about what she wished elected officials in Washington understood about the health care system. Her answer is important for every American to hear:

Truly being “pro-family” means ensuring access and cost of care - including IVF - never stands in the way of someone choosing to start or grow their family. Trump breaking his promise about something as important as this might not be surprising, but it is cruel.

The core of our message should be about everyday life in America, and how much better it could be - with different leadership and different policies.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

Hearing statistics about Trump’s budget doesn’t tell the full story. It’s about the real lives that feel the consequences of it. Watch my full conversation with Dr. Jill, a health care provider in rural Wisconsin, about what she’s already seeing in her community.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

In other words: we are paying for the tariffs

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are canceling vaccine development for bird flu and other dangerous diseases - an action which puts us and our kids in danger.

As I said to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, Trump is running scared. Texans didn't vote for him to kick 17M Americans off their health care, and he knows it. Instead of facing voters, he’s trying to rig the '26 election by manipulating the maps. Help us fight back: secure.actblue.com/donate/gina-...

Looking forward to talking with @aaronparnas.bsky.social over on Substack Live later today. Tune in at 12pm ET.

I’m going live on Instagram at 1:30pm ET with TX State Rep. @ginaforaustin.bsky.social to talk about how we can push back against Republicans' obvious plan to disempower voters. Share any questions for her in the comments below.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months. Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Had a great conversation last week with some of the creators who are helping make sense of the moment - and providing followers with insights and connection in this troubled time for American politics.

I'm proud to support @aarondfordnv.bsky.social to be the next governor of Nevada!

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

Along with the whole Traverse City community, Chasten and I are shaken by the awful and senseless violence at Walmart earlier today. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping and praying for speedy recovery for all those who were injured.

Sending my best to a true public servant and fellow Midwesterner, Governor Tony Evers, on his announced retirement. I saw up close his commitment to doing the right thing for Wisconsinites - and countless lives are better today because he stepped up to serve.

🚨 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on Trump's handling of Epstein: "His response...has revealed how gullible he wants to think his own base is." Is there a list? "What I know is...there's enough of a there there that they said they would push it out and then they won't."

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.

All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.
